The relationship between and humans is undergoing a transformation. Emancipatory approaches exchange the image of the domesticated beast against the ideal of mutual respect and cooperation. Stefan Mann, Marion Novet and Clara Ackermann have carried out bot individual interviews with hobby horse keepers and a survey among 7000 horse keepers. Their results show that women play a special role in the process of developing more egalitarian relationships. The qualitative part illustrates that horses can be considered as a mere tool or as a partner for mutual development. There is then clear quantitative evidence that women, on average, have more respect for the horse’s autonomy and tend to leave traditional role models behind them.
